He was an Ole Romer professor at the University of Copenhagen and co-authored more than 100 papers. In July 2015, he announced he would be stepping down from his role at BGI to set up iCarbonX and focus on developing artificial intelligence, saying that "both life sciences and genomics have now run into a bottleneck in handling data from tens of thousands of samples... AI and machine learning could do something with big data and for people's health." Presenting his efforts in setting up iCarbonX and establishing a big data platform for health management at the TED 2017 Conference. (en)
